Alcudia Fair 2024 – A What’s On Focus
The 36th edition of the Alcudia Fair is upon us, which means three days full of activities for all ages and all tastes.
During this weekend, the old town of Alcudia will be filled with stalls, attractions, exhibitions and concerts. This includes the 27th Homemade Cooking Show, a showcase in local culinary tradition and the popular Roman market, a symbol of the town’s historical heritage, among many other events.
You can mark the end of summer with the Alcudia Fair. Think of it as a street party that brings everyone out into the streets and fills Alcudia with life and joy. It’s an occasion for all — residents and visitors alike, so enjoy!
